I need to buy a new TV.False. This is one of three options if you own an analog TV set. You canpurchase a new TV that is equipped with a digital tuner or you can keep yourcurrent TV and connect to a converter box or pay TV service (such as cable orsatellite).2. TV will no longer be free for me.False. You can still receive free television over the air with an antenna just likeyou do now as long as your TV either has a digital tuner or is connected to aconverter box.

You can also choose to purchase a new digital TV or subscribe to apay TV service such as cable or satellite.4. One converter box is all I need for my TVs.False. If you choose to buy converter boxes, you will need one converter boxfor each analog TV. Every analog set has to be connected to a pay TV serviceor converter box to get a TV signal after February 17, 2009.5. The change to DTV is unnecessary and is not going toimprove television.False. Digital television, or DTV, is a higher quality, more effi cient way to transmitTV signals than the current analog TV system. DTV provides better pictureand sound quality and takes up less space, making it possible for stations toprovide more free programming and improving communications capabilitiesfor public and safety services.6.

Only those TVs that are hooked up to the pay TV service (or those withbuilt-in digital tuners or converter boxes) will get a TV signal after February 17,2009. If your main TV is connected to cable, but you use an antenna to get asignal on additional analog TVs, those TV sets will not work unless you takesteps to prepare.7. I need to subscribe to cable or satellite to get the besttelevision picture quality.False. Cable and satellite compress your television signal. The best qualitypicture comes over the air with an antenna used in conjunction with a digitaltuner or a converter box.8.

I already have DTV because I have digital cable.False. If you subscribe to any kind of cable, you should be ready for the transition.However, DTV and digital cable are not the same thing.
